Great stay

Plenty of sites during the week! Cooled off in the evening so didn’t need AC. Clean vault toilet! 35 mile scenic drive and lots of hiking trails!

Great Spot

This is a great campground if you’re looking for somewhere simple to stay for a weekend. You’re not able to make reservations but it doesn’t seem very popular so you’re most likely to find a spot if you go early enough. It costs $10 if you stay for 3 days, but it allows you to use the America the Beautiful pass if you have it. There’s a 4 mile hike if you keep following the road down if you’re looking for something else to do.

Trashy

Many of the pictures posted here are not of this campground.  This is a free campground located in central Utah outside of the the town of Nephi.  The campground is a local party place and is somewhat trashy, old toilet seats and some garbage laying around.  

There is one pit toilet that did have toilet paper.

Free camping down the road

The road going into Cottonwood Campground has free dispersed camping along it. There area no amenities, however you can't beat free. On summer weekends, this whole road is PACKED with campers and 4-wheelers.
